SO! I did my Thursday morning weigh in and I’m at 209.6! WOO HOO! I know this a rather big drop this week, but I think it’s probably this big because last week, was water retention week (if you know what I mean) so I think I finally just lost the water weight this week. Anyways, I’m SO excited to be out of 210’s and I hope that I NEVER have to see them again.
I’m also really excited because I often do go off track a bit on the weekends, with drinking and not watching my food as carefully, etc. But, I guess the cautiousness and awareness that I have during the week really pays off. However, I do think I should be more careful on the weekends and not allow myself to get careless on the weekends. For example, tonight I’m going to a beer tasting party, so I should really watch my limit there, and probably set a limit of 2 beers max.
Also, as is easily seen, I’m often very conflicted by my calorie goals per day or calorie limits. I’m toying with the idea of raising my calorie limit to 1400 per day. That doesn’t mean that I HAVE to reach 1400, but I think I am allowing myself to go to 1400 (MAX) if there is something I want. But I think the other important thing to recognize, is that I should try not to use that extra 100 for a 100 calorie pack or something like that, but I should try to use it more for fruit or nuts or yogurt etc. Although I’m sure sometimes it will go to a calorie pack.
I think I may often still stay around 1300, but if I crave something, I think I should be able to slightly indulge. However, if next week I don’t lose anything or AHHH if I gain, I’m definitely putting myself back down to 1300. But hopefully that wont be a problem. I’m also thinking perhaps, of putting myself on 1400 for days when I work out, and 1300 for days when I don’t work out. But really, I’m not sure how much that matters or affects it. I guess we’ll see. What do you guys think??
OK so yeah, enough babbling. We’ll see what happens with calories, etc as the days progress! I just want to make sure I stay entirely on track! Also, I’m less than 5 lbs away from achieving my next mini goal, and less than 10 lbs away from my first huge reward! WooHOO!
